'This Could Be Love' by Alkaline Trio - Guitar Tutorial

            Band: Alkaline Trio
Song: This Could Be Love
Album: Good Mourning
Tab: Guitar
Tabed By: kenny fabritius


	hi- ok... see, there are about 3 or four changes in the verses, and a finale that is a littel different
from the refrain.  So, i decided to tab out the entire song, just to avoid confusion... really only the verses
and ending had to be tabbed out but still, i thought this would be much easier to understand and much more concise.
Well enjoy... and please rate this tab.  if there are any questions contact me @ [email protected]

 it doesn't matter to me cuz i know i'm right- but rate thses tabs if u so choose... 

have fun... kenny.




Key:
/=slide
=up stroke
)))=echo or let ring
x=single note muted
P=palm muted
S=quick stop
PC/=pick slide
F=folk strumming
H=hard or heavey strumming
